The overly beautiful man was named Li Qiao, and he told Zhao Yao that he was a student at Jinling Academy and was arrested for wanting to take the imperial examination. He asked Zhao Yao who he was and why he was arrested.

Regarding Li Qiao's words, Zhao Yao didn't believe a word. As far as Li Qiao's bearing is concerned, it doesn't seem like he was born in a poor family at all. Zhao Yao wondered if this Li Qiao was treating him as a fool, thinking that he would believe his words.

Also, he, the Ten Princes, has always given people the impression that he is simple and naïve, and he is still a stupid person, no wonder Li Qiao deceived him so blatantly.

Zhao Yao told Li Qiao that his name was Liang Yao, and he was about to go to his grandfather's house in Yangzhou, but he didn't expect to encounter an accident, and then he was caught inexplicably.

Through the past few days of getting along and testing, Li Qiao found that the Ten Princes were indeed as innocent as the legend said, and he looked stupid without any scheming.

Zhao Yao saw that he had deceived Li Qiao, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. However, because he was a fool on the surface, he couldn't ask Li Qiao something tentatively, let alone knock on the side, otherwise Li Qiao would find out that he was pretending to be stupid.

Regarding his current situation, although Zhao Yao was a little worried and anxious, he could only wait patiently.

At this time, Zhao Yao was lying on the bed in the secret room with a helpless face.

"Brother Qiao, when are we going to be locked up, even if we want to sell us, it's time to sell it."

Li Qiao asked funny, "Do you want to be sold?" ”

Zhao Yao turned over, looked at Li Qiao sideways, and said with a puffed face: "Of course I don't want to be sold, but I don't want to be locked up here all the time." I'm going to go crazy if I keep it locked up like this. ”

"The other party can't lock us up for the rest of our lives, and it is estimated that they will let us out after a while." During this period of time and night, seeing that Zhao Yao was scheming and innocent and cute, Li Qiao unconsciously relaxed his vigilance against him.

Zhao Yao gives people the feeling that he is a lively and lovely younger brother, and it is hard to dislike it. Let's just say that his imperial brothers, although they don't like Zhao Yao as much as the King of Chu and the King of Wei, they don't hate Zhao Yao. There are also ministers in the court, they do not support Zhao Yao, but it does not mean that they hate Zhao Yao.

Many ministers feel that it is rare to see a fool like Zhao Yao in the royal family. Although such a prince is looked down upon, it is a good thing for them to deal with such a prince without having to worry about provoking him.

The ministers in the Lanyuan Pavilion all liked Zhao Yao very much, and they got along with Zhao Yao very happily. Many ministers have become fathers or grandfathers, and Zhao Yao is as innocent and cute as their sons or grandsons.

"Brother Qiao, where do you think we will be sold?" Zhao Yao said, with a look of fear and fear on his face, "Brother Qiao, we won't die after being sold, it's all like this in the script." ”

"Probably not, if the other party wanted us to die, they would have killed us a long time ago, why keep us locked up, and still feed us with good food and drink."

"Brother Qiao, before the pig was killed, it was also raised by people with good food and drink." Zhao Yao's face was full of worry, "I think we are just like pigs." ”

Li Qiao, who was drinking tea, almost choked when he heard this. He looked at Zhao Yao with a helpless smile on his face.

"Did you say that about yourself?"

Zhao Yao rolled on the bed, "I feel like we are pigs now, before we were killed, we were raised for nothing, and then when the time was right, we were sold." ”

"You want to be a pig, I don't want to be a pig." Li Qiao comforted Zhao Yao and said, "Let's wait a few more days." ”

"Brother Qiao, do you have a way to escape?"

"Not yet."

"Brother Qiao, can we really escape?" Zhao Yao cried quietly as he spoke.

Li Qiao saw Zhao Yao buried on the pillow again and cried quietly, so he knew that he was scared again.

He walked over, patted Zhao Yao's back gently, and comforted him gently, "We will definitely be able to escape." ”

Zhao Yao raised his face from the pillow, his clear and beautiful eyes were full of tears, and his delicate little face was full of grievances and panic.

"Brother Qiao, are we really not going to die?"

Li Qiao stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Yao's head gently, and said softly: "We won't die." ”

"Brother Qiao, I think I miss my mother." If the mother knew that he was missing and arrested, she would be very worried, hoping that her father did not tell her mother about it. Also, he has been missing for so long, how come the secret guards sent by his father to protect him have not found him yet. Could it be that these families in Jinling are so powerful that they can hide the secret guards?

"You'll see your mother soon."

"My mother is only one of my sons, if I die, my mother will not be able to live...... Zhao Yao said pitifully, "My father has many wives, my father does not like my mother, I am my mother's hope to live, if I die, my mother will not be able to live ......"

Regarding the situation of Concubine Liang and the Ten Princes, Li Qiao knows. He deliberately asked, "Does your father dislike your mother and you so much?" ”

"My father has too many women and sons, my mother and I are inconspicuous, and my father often forgets us." Zhao Yao lay on the bed and deliberately revealed the situation of his family to Li Qiao. "My family is still rich, and my eldest brother and second brother are competing for the ...... of the family business."

The situation that Zhao Yao said was the same as what Li Qiao understood.

"Why don't you go and fight for the family business?"

"Ah, me?" Zhao Yao pointed at himself in disbelief, "Brother Qiao, do you think I can rob the family business?" ”

"Aren't you your father's son, why can't you rob it?"

"Brother Qiao, you think too highly of me, my mother and I are not smart people, we can't rob my brothers." Zhao Yao said with a bitter face, "It's not easy for me and my mother to live well in my family, where do we dare to rob the family business, unless we want to die." ”

"If you don't compete for the family business, won't you be able to divide the family business in the future, what will you and your mother do when the time comes?"

"If my dad doesn't like us anymore, he will give me and my mother some money." Zhao Yao said innocently, "I'm my father's biological son, my father won't be so ruthless that he won't give me any money." ”

Looking at Zhao Yao's honest appearance, Li Qiao couldn't open his mouth to hit him.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you, why did you come to Jinling?"

"I came to Jinling to play, and then I was about to go to Yangzhou to find my grandfather, but I didn't expect to be arrested." Zhao Yao said, the expression on his face was extremely aggrieved, "I've been arrested for so long, and my father doesn't know if they sent someone to look for me?" ”

"Your father will definitely send someone to find you, maybe they are trying to find a way to save you." Li Qiao knew in his heart that the emperor did not send people to find Zhao Yao's son, but sent two other sons to take charge of the imperial examination in Jinling. It seems that in the emperor's heart, the ten princes are really not important at all.

"Hopefully." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he buried himself in the pillow again. "Brother Qiao, where is your family?"

"My family shouldn't know I'm missing, they think I'm studying at the academy." Li Qiao said, "It's good that they don't know, so they don't have to worry." ”

"Brother Qiao, you look very good at studying, your family definitely hopes that you can take the imperial examination, and then go to become an official, and now that you are locked up, I don't know if you have time to take the imperial examination."

The corners of Li Qiao's mouth raised a bitter smile: "If you can't pass the exam this year, you can take the exam again next year." ”

"Then we've got to get out." Zhao Yao said, with a distressed look on his face, "I'm too stupid to think of a way to escape, Brother Qiao, if you can escape by then, just run away first, leave me alone." ”

"Leave you alone?" Li Qiao didn't expect Zhao Yao to say this.

"If you are the only one who can escape, then you will leave me alone, I will definitely hold you back." Zhao Yao said very knowingly.

Li Qiao gently knocked Zhao Yao's head, "What nonsense, the two of us will definitely escape together." ”

"Brother Qiao, I ......"

"Alright, don't say any more." Li Qiao comforted Zhao Yao and said, "Don't think about it, we will definitely be able to escape." ”

As he spoke, the door to the secret room opened, and a man dressed in a night suit brought tonight's dinner.

"Eat first."

Smelling the aroma of the food, Zhao Yao's stomach gurgled very cooperatively. He sat up suddenly, and the whole person regained his spirit: "Eat, eat a full meal before you have the strength to escape." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yao was so active in eating, Li Qiao smiled and said, "That's right, only when you have enough to eat can you have the strength to escape." ”

Dinner tonight was still good, but it was still poisoned.

Every time Zhao Yao finished eating, not only did he have no strength in his body, but he was also very sleepy. Zhao Yao pretended to fall asleep.

Every time he fell asleep, Li Qiao would leave the secret room. Today is no exception.

"In two days, take us out and sell us." Li Qiao said to another person in the room.

"Aren't you waiting?" Another asked.

Li Qiao didn't answer this question, but asked, "Is there any news from the capital?" ”

The other person knew what Li Qiao wanted to ask, and replied: "The emperor did not send people to find the ten princes, but sent King Jing and King Wei to Jinling to hold the imperial examination, and sent King Chu to Pengcheng. ”

Li Qiao did not speak.

The other person hesitated and said, "The emperor doesn't care about the life or death of the Ten Princes, it's useless to keep him." ”

"It's useless to the emperor, but not necessarily to the king of Chu." Li Qiao said thoughtfully, "The relationship between the King of Chu and the Ten Princes is good, and he can use the Ten Princes to threaten the King of Chu." ”

Another person didn't think so: "No matter how good the relationship between the King of Chu and the Ten Princes is, it is impossible for us to be threatened by the Ten Princes." These princes have no brotherhood in the face of interests. ”

Li Qiao felt that the other person's words made some sense.

"The Ten Princes can't stay." Another person looked at Li Qiao and said, "The Ten Emperors are no longer favored, and they are also the emperor's sons, so it is too dangerous for us to keep him locked up here." ”

Li Qiaoyun said lightly: "Then get rid of him." ”

"Get rid of the Ten Princes?" The other person was very surprised, "I see that you have been getting along very well with the Ten Princes during this time, I thought you were soft-hearted towards him......" Before he finished speaking, he received Li Qiao's cold eyes, which frightened him so much that he didn't dare to continue. "I said it wrong, how could you be soft-hearted towards the Ten Princes."

"We'll do it in two days." Li Qiao's tone sounded a little impatient.

"Understood." Another person opened his mouth and asked, "Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on the King of Chu?" ”

Li Qiao said: "The king of Chu doesn't need us to keep an eye on it, the crown prince and the acting king will send people to keep an eye on it, so we don't need to do anything more." ”

Another person thinks so. He asked again, "What about King Jing and King Wei?" ”

"King Wei is his own person, when he arrives, we will treat him well, as for King Jing." Li Qiao raised the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Don't bother with him." ”

"The prince sent a letter saying that King Jing would do nothing after he arrived in Jinling, so let's be optimistic about King Jing." Another added, "The prince also asked us to teach King Jing a good lesson." ”

When Li Qiao heard this, he smiled playfully: "What kind of lesson, to what extent?" ”

"The prince wrote to say that it would be good if he didn't die." The other laughed wickedly, "It seems that the crown prince is really disgusted with King Jing's younger brother. ”

"Since the crown prince has given the order, then we will do it." Li Qiao smiled meaningfully, "Teach King Jing a good lesson to make the prince angry." ”

"Okay, I'm measured." Another person thought of Zhao Yao, who was locked in the secret room, and sneered, "It seems that there is nothing good about being a prince." ”

While Li Qiao was discussing things with another person, Zhao Yao was talking to Sparrow.

During this time, he had become friends with the sparrows outside the secret room, and learned a lot from them.

Before Li Qiao returned to the secret room, Zhao Yao let his sparrow friend leave, and he continued to pretend to be asleep.

At the same time, the King of Wei, who was on his way to Jinling, had already learned of Zhao Yao's whereabouts.

The Southern Wei people who were hidden in Jinling spent a lot of thought and finally found Zhao Yao's traces.

There was a cold killing intent in King Wei's eyes, "It was actually the Li family who kidnapped the tenth brother!" ”

Yu Hai, who was standing on the side, was surprised: "Did the Li family eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dare to kidnap the Tenth Highness!" He asked again, "Your Highness, did the crown prince order the kidnapping of the Tenth Highness?" ”

"No, the prince has never taken the tenth brother to heart, it was the Li family who kidnapped the tenth brother without authorization." King Wei said in a gloomy tone.

"Your Highness, the Tenth Highness did not participate in the affairs of Jinling, why did the Li family kidnap the Tenth Highness?" Yu Hai asked puzzled.

"Provoke your father, or threaten the fourth." King Wei said with a gloomy face, "No matter what the purpose of the Li family is to kidnap the tenth brother, the Li family deserves to die." ”

"Your Highness, what are we going to do next?"

"Save the tenth brother first, and then let the Li family pay the price." What King Wei is most worried about now is whether Zhao Yao was injured, suffered, or wronged during the period of his disappearance. When he thought that his tenth brother, who had never suffered anything since he was a child, was injured and wronged, King Wei felt distressed.

"The tenth brother was arrested, but I was afraid that he would be frightened." Thinking of the tenth brother being locked up in a prison without seeing the sun, and looking frightened, King Wei couldn't wait to rush to Jinling immediately and kill all the Li family.

Yu Hai was also worried about Zhao Yao. He hurriedly comforted King Wei and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness Ten must be fine." ”

"I knew that I should have accompanied my tenth brother to Jinling." Regarding Zhao Yao's arrest, King Wei blamed himself very much.

"Your Highness, the arrest of the Tenth Highness has nothing to do with you, it is all the Li family's audacity." Yu Hai comforted King Wei.

King Wei felt that it was his own fault. He said with a face full of self-reproach: "It was I who underestimated the group of people in Jinling, which made the tenth brother kidnapped by the Li family." ”

"Your Highness, you have already ordered the rescue of the Ten Highnesses, and soon the Ten Highnesses will be rescued, so you don't have to worry too much."

King Wei frowned, and said with a solemn face: "You have to rescue the tenth brother as soon as possible, otherwise the tenth brother's life will be in danger." ”
